The 44-year-old man driving the Hummer reportedly suffered a leg injury. He was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.

Both drivers were alone in their vehicles. Their names have not been released.

Saltsburg Road was closed between Vincent and Almar Drives. Officials have not said when it will reopen.
